'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY` CONCERN: i i I Be it` known that I, WILLIAMBLIESNER, of St. Louis, inthe county of St. Louis, nnd State ofMissouri,

have invented a new and useful improvement on a Meat-Cutting and FeedingMachine; and I do hereby declare that the following 1s a clear, full,and exact description ofthe construction and operation ofthe same,reference being had to the annexed drawings; `making a. partof thisspeciiieation, in which- Figure I isa front elevation of the feedingapparatus with the cutting machine attached,

Figure II, a top view of the feeding apparatus, and

Figure III a side view of the c'utting machine. j

The invention consists oi' two principal parts: first, the feedingapparatus A; second, the meat-cutting apparatus B.

The feeding apparatus A consists of a frame, one-half of which isoccupied by a meat-box, al, of any suit- I able shape, open at twoopposite ends,and closed at the'top by a. lid. The open ends of the boxa permit the l passage o f a piston, a2, shned in conformity with saidbex. By means of cog-wheels and a rack, the piston Aof the pistonwithout affecting the rc'mninder of the machinery.

receives a backwardand fo. .vard motion in the box a, atene end of whichare attached the straight knives bij b. The meat-cutting apparatus Bconsists of the straight knives b2 b, fixed in two separate frames, b1,movingi by means of an eccentric, cl, at right angles to each other, butstill parallel to the opening of the meat-box a.

At the same end of the box to which the straight knives are attachedthere'is a sword-shaped knife, b5, having j a rotary motion, parallel tothe opening of the meat-box al. To the shaft c' is fixed the cog-wheelc3, which `transmits its motion to the cog-wheel c4 and the eccentricc1. The shaft c2 is putin motion by the combinationv'of lthe cog-wheelsc5 c5 and the driving-shaft, its pinion c7 and ily-wheel c6.The-combination of the cog-wheelsc cx c cw clx and the rack clz producesthe .backward and forward motion of the piston. The shaftv cla ofthecoge, wheels cw c is capable of being moved laterally, by means of whichthe piston can easily be drawn back without cal\sing the working of anyof the other parts of the machinery. The machinemay be made offwood andiron or`an other suitable materials.

1. I claim the combination of the feeding-apparatus A with themeatlcu-tting machine, all arranged xgspeciiedl` 2. The continual motionof the knives in three different directions, as and for the purposedescribed.

3. :The simultaneous inotion of the knives b2 b3 by means o'f the leverb, and the eccentric wheel c, as

and-for tho ptirpose specified;`

4. T he arrangement of the shaft c with the cog-wheel ci and the rack a,which permits the drawing baal i v WILLIAM nLIEsNEitL Witnesses: y
